Using Simon cards...to buy more Simon cards!
If this works, it will be very useful for those of you who constantly gets suspended or have multiple ebay accounts.
Ok, we all know about simon's prepaid card, how they require a minimum of $20 for a card. Can't we buy one card say for $24 prepaid, then use that card to buy a $23 prepaid (leaving the first card with only $1), and use the second to buy a $22 prepaid... etc etc.
So in the end you'll have 5 cards, (4 of them have $1 in them, and one has $20) which costs only $24. Instead of buying 5 cards with minimum of $20 (total to $100).
Haven't tried it myself, but technically it should work.
*EDIT* - So it seems it's been verified that this method DOES work. A user reported ebay/paypal charges approxmiately $2, probably for verification and should get the $$ back shortly after. In that case, it might be a good idea to keep, say $5, in each card.
